    This error can occur if there is any operation that did not run properly due to the website’s fault. It can be caused due to the blunder made by your WP. Don’t sweat it out, as you can fix it very easily. First thing you want to try is to debug your site though it might not solve the issue but can still provide you with the insight as to what actually caused the error. Next thing is to turn off all the plugins and themes. Also, check your .htaccess file. There are some circumstances where you should increase the memory limit of your WP in order to solve the issue. Although this might be a temporary solution. Best solution is to ask your host about the issue and get the details. Better than that is to reinstall WordPress. This might help you format all the excess data which are not useful and can manage your website smoothly after installing it again.

    Hi, these forums are actually for the sites hosted here at WordPress.com. Because we provide security and maintenance, our users will generally not see a 500 error, let alone be responsible for fixing it.

    I’m going to go ahead and close this thread as it’s not a support question. Please see our community standards here:
